A Rose in the Desert

We've never gone anywhere on our actual anniversary because it is right in the middle of Texas' school spring break. So, this year when I mentioned this to my parents they asked if we'd ever thought about going to Vegas for our anniversary. After all, Spring Break wouldn't really make a difference there. Right? Right!

So my parents gave us a week at the Desert Rose Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. I think it is also a Hawthorne Suites, as well as a time share condo with the Shell Vacation Club.

I liked it. The location was great. It was right behind the Hooters Hotel and within walking distance from the MGM Grand and all the other hotels on that end of the strip. (Just for the record, I won a nice amount on the slots at the MGM!)

We had a comfortable two-room suite with free wireless internet, a simple continental breakfast, and evening wine and beer receptions. If you've ever been to Vegas you already know that the only thing free is alcohol while you are gambling. It was nice to have these complimentary amenities during our stay!

After long days of losing money, walking down the strip, seeing shows, and losing more money, it was nice to have a comfortable place to call home.
